About the evening:

From the Grexit to the Troika, the ongoing crisis in Greece has spawned a whole new vocabulary and has dominated newspaper headlines for over five years. Now, a powerful and timely anthology offers a poetic reply to the social and economic disaster which still threatens to overturn the whole European project.

Times of protest and political upheaval have always inspired poets and artists and, beyond the headlines, elections and debt agreements, a powerful Greek literary movement has been stirring. Futures: Poetry of the Greek Crisis introduces a new generation of writers inspired to highlight the plight of a country in a near continual state of emergency.

And, on the 13th November, the anthology’s editor, Theodoros Chiotis and The Nation‘s Maria Margaronis came together for an evening of readings and discussion, taking a closer look at the themes, the protagonists and the poetry behind Futures: Poetry of the Greek Crisis.
